Update: Some commentators have pointed out that in the Obama segments the US Marines were at attention and therefore unable to show more than tepid applause. I'll be the first to admit that's what's going on here, but it does show a tin ear on the part of a commander in chief to continue presenting himself as aloof from the troops under him.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
